Device for the provision of materials in workplaces

Abstract

An apparatus ( 10 ) for furnishing material ( 12 ) at work sites is proposed. The apparatus ( 10 ) has a material holder ( 12 ) and a removal place ( 16 ). The material holder ( 12 ) and the removal place ( 16 ) are divided into a plurality of segments ( 22, 24, 54, 56 ) for the separate storage and furnishing of different materials. A separating wall ( 34, 58 ) extends in the longitudinal direction of the apparatus ( 10 ) for this purpose. In this fashion it is possible to furnish different parts in particular that must be installed together anyway, such as screws and nuts, in one single apparatus ( 10 ), by way of which the furnishing expense is lowered.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . An apparatus ( 10 ) for furnishing material at work sites having a material holder ( 12 ) and a removal place ( 16 ) that form at least one segment ( 22 ,  24 ,  54 ,  56 ), 
 wherein the material holder ( 12 ) and the removal place ( 16 ) are divided into a plurality of segments ( 22 ,  24 ,  54 ,  56 ) for the separate storage and furnishing of material.    
     
     
         2 . The apparatus ( 10 ) according to  claim 1 , 
 wherein at least one separating wall ( 34 ,  58 ) extends through the apparatus ( 10 ) in the longitudinal direction of the apparatus ( 10 ) to divide it into multiple segments ( 22 ,  24 ,  54 ,  56 ).    
     
     
         3 . The apparatus ( 10 ) according to  claim 1  or  2 , 
 wherein the chute-shaped material holder ( 12 ) is divided into at least two hollow chambers by means of at least one separating wall ( 34 ), and the removal place ( 16 ) is divided into at least two segments ( 54 ,  56 ) by means of at least one separating wall ( 58 ) aligned with at least one separating wall ( 34 ) of the material holder ( 12 ).  
 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus ( 10 ) according to  claim 3 , 
 wherein one pushing device ( 60 ) is provided for each segment ( 54 ,  56 ) to dispense the material.    
     
     
         5 . The apparatus ( 10 ) according to one of the claims  1  through  4 , 
 wherein a filling funnel ( 20 ) is provided on the end face ( 18 ) of the material holder ( 12 ) opposite to the removal place ( 16 ) that is divided into a plurality of segments ( 64 ,  66 ).  
 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus ( 10 ) according to one of the claims  1  through  5 , 
 wherein the material holder ( 12 ) and the removal place ( 16 ) are designed as a single component.  
 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus ( 10 ) according to one of the claims  1  through  5 , 
 wherein the material holder ( 12 ) and the removal place ( 16 ) are designed as parts capable of being joined to each other, whereby the removal place ( 16 ) is preferably flange-mounted to the material holder ( 12 ) using screws ( 42 ).  
 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus ( 10 ) according to one of the claims  1  through  7 , wherein the material holder ( 12 ) has undercut grooves ( 36 ) along one outer wall ( 26 ), and T-shaped projections ( 38 ) corresponding to the grooves ( 36 ) along the opposite outer wall ( 28 ) for arranging a plurality of apparatuses ( 10 ) on top of each other.  
     
     
         9 . A work site having at least one apparatus ( 10 ), preferably a plurality of apparatuses ( 10 ) according to one of the claims  1  through  8  arranged on top of each other.
